Tenet (12A)
Directed by Christopher Nolan
★★★
ALL eyes are on Christopher Nolan’s epic and mind-bending sci-fi thriller, the first big blockbuster film to be released during the pandemic, in the hope that it will persuade people to return to cinemas in their droves and save the industry.
Shot in IMAX and 70mm, the visuals are dazzling and beyond spectacular and certainly need to be seen on the biggest screen possible to be appreciated.
